Tails of the Unexpected
- grifaton 14y agoI'm puzzled by the references to paper/scissors/stone. Why is "stone" the "most obvious move"? Later on, the paper states that the game is "well known to be power law distributed". I couldn't immediately find anything online to back this up -- the first hit in google was a link to this paper. Can anybody provide some insight?
- gruseom 14y agoI was puzzled by that too. It seemed like the weakest thing in the paper. Other stuff, especially the part about applying contemporary risk models to historical data, was much more interesting.
- stephengillie 14y ago>Why is "stone" the "most obvious move"? Since the starting position (closed fist) is very similar to Rock, most people will be lazy and play Rock instead of Paper or Scissors, at least the first round?
- losethos 14y agoI wonder if I put salt in those passwords? i did what I was told. I didn't give it much thought -- not too clear on the concept. okay 17 flips; most sig first, head=1;tail=0; make binary number. modulo 100,000.

Ask an MIT guy what the distribution is. Are there any blue-shifted galaxies? Is the shift a function of the position on an expanding sphere-ish thing, more or less a calculus problem of an integral over a sphere to a point in the sphere (Earth). I wonder if we have any way to figure-out distance to a galaxy. They probably use doppler shift!! Oops. God says... 0,1110,0011,1100,0000 : 58304 14:30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant. 14:31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. 14:32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it. 15:1 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; 15:2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off. ---- What's the distribution of distances from a particle to other particles in a smoke cloud? What about distributions of velocities to-from a given particle? Expanding space is not like smoke, exactly. Actually, does space expand uniformly?
